Really good Didn't expect much as many apps have ads or don't work or have poor info. As a grandma this is great to find lots locally.

Jenny Smith

Great app Great little app for finding local things to do - clearly gives distance and easy to see what type of activity. I think I will use this quite often when looking after my grand children.

Rachel Howard

Great App Worked well and had plenty of information.

Helen Rawstron

Doesn't even load Installed, then chose 'log in as guest' (because no, I don't want to use my Facebook log in, thank you!), then all I get is a blank screen. Nothing loads. Waste of time.

Works great! Galaxy J3 and works great with resukts straight away. looks lovely and found some fab classes i didn't know where nearby as we just moved.well done!

Kirsty Lowry

Galaxy A3 Very informative and the fact it gives you localised data is an added plus. Lots of great ideas and clubs for little ones to do all on place is just fantastic x

Guest log is fine if you don't want to leave reviews and that's why we offer it thank you too :)
To get results you need to click search in the top left of the screen as the App doesn't know what you want out of the box !
This is exactly like Auto trader or Trip Advisor apps.
Facebook log in is to validate people are real &le act responsibly.

Really appreciate you making the effort to review my App. I spend a considerable amount of time as a mother of two doing my best to provide a good resource for parents. Whilst we try to test on all leading devices we don't have the resources of Microsoft or Google, so odd bugs do happen I'm afraid.
A new version is out in November, thanks Tessa

Elisabeth Barton July 23, 2015

Does not load Couldn't get it open! Uninstalled straight away. Great idea shame it doesn't work.

Hi Elisabeth, sorry, Android manufacturers have so many device varients that some won't work even for big games brands. Our in house Xperia is fine, but always sorry to hear odd device don't work. We don't charge for the App & it is free however we always try to make as many devices work as possible. It works on ipads if you have one, no problems.

Hi Philip, sorry to hear your Huawei Ascend G6 doesn't work with our new version of the App. We test on over 20 leading devices but obviously there are lots out there with many idiosyncrasies (different versions needed). We will remove it from the compatibility list so that others do not get a similar experience as on your device.

Pants! Typed in all catogries within 10 miles yet only 5 things came up. Nothing suitable for my childs age group and iknow of better groups etc that could be advertised. Dissapointed I expected to find some classes or days out I hadnt seen before!!

Hello Megan, we work really hard and invested a lot of time, effort and money to make this App FREE for mums-so sorry that you feel it is pants! Where are you in the country ? Let us know & we will see if we can add more locally for mums (for FREE). If you would be interested in working for us to do this then do get in touch at contact@milocal.info

Amelia Plumbley June 21, 2015

No good.... Doesn't work at all... Glitchy Unfortunately I cannot do anything with this FREE app. It's glitchy when attempting to load or use a postcode for a search. You can refresh the start page all day long but still just have a pink screen in front of you... I use plenty of FREE apps that do work. So although this is a great idea and needs promoting so all venues and events small and big are added, it's just a shame that the basics are not working with alot of phones...

Hi Amelia, as promised the new version uploaded today 8.6.15 is a massive upgrade and tested on lots of devices. Hope you find new things in your area. It is fully tested on many phones. Sorry for the inconvenience and if you find you are happy after downloading then please do rate us again, thanks for your support :)

Kymberleigh Brown May 29, 2015

would give no stars if i had the option to. this spp would not even load up. i log in then it just shuts down. very dissappointed

Hi Kymberleigh, sorry to hear you had problems & thanks for sharing your issue and rating. As a family run service when we release upgrades to our FREE App, there are some devices which may suffer issues from time to time and the Galaxy Fame, being an older, small screen device is one of those it seems with this upgrade. Will review on test phone.

Anna Todd May 27, 2015

Not impressed - disappointed This app could be amazing however didn't include loads of activities and could not close down to exit.

Dear Anna,The new version uploaded today 8.6.15 is a massive upgrade and tested on lots of devices. Hope you find new things in your area and a competition closing tonight at . https://www.facebook.com/MilocalMums lets you recommend activities to add to the App for a chance to win £150. You also can post where you live and we can add lots more .

Danielle Hoadley June 5, 2015

Dont install Each time i try and access the app i have to restart my phone to close it. Really slow opening anything and regularly flicks back to main page

Dear Danielle, The new version uploaded today 8.6.15 is a massive upgrade and tested on lots of devices. Hope you find new things in your area. It is fully tested on many phones including several S3 minis. If you find you are happy after downloading then please do rate us again, thanks for your support :)

Hi Mart, sorry to hear.
We are completing a huge upgrade to the iOS version and experience, Android will follow in a couple of weeks then Windows Phone. We may put an interim release out to rectify a few of the most issues on some devices too if everyone can bear with us as Android has so many flavors to test and ensure they work continually.

Hughie Mcgarry May 5, 2015

Perfect! I sent this app to a friend who was always bored, and felt like there was nothing in the area that she could take her daughter to. Now she is out most days! Nice and easy to use too, great app!

thank you so much, we work very hard to make this free and we know we have lots of activities to add everywhere, we work tirelessly to continually improve data and the app - check in today for a major new version uploaded. Thanks again,we appreciate your comments a lot.

Stuart Gillam December 8, 2014

Good idea, why not just a website Also can't find babyfit bournemouth details. 'Search' top left is actually an additional filter which is confusing at first. When nothing found, should say so rather than show nothing. Maybe allow partial postcodes like 'bh12' or at least accept postcodes with no spaces. What does 'recent' or 'logout' mean. I never logged in?

Hi,Debbie can contact us via Facebook or our website if she would like listing. Post codes do work partially but only when the last three are not valid, recent details things you have looked at recently &social features like messaging or chat require a Facebook log in, hence the log out option. Good points on search as an unclear filter, thanks!

Alison Forbes February 3, 2015

Great app, really informative! Wow, such a great app, I have discovered loads of great new classes and free things to do, and all on my doorstep! Love that you can contact the owner direct and even get directions, perfect for any busy parent!

Amazing App for Mums! This is a great app that allows parents to find local clubs and meetings to goto with there babies/children it is a very throughout app and has an easy to use and good looking GUI Would recommend to anyone! 5*

End user ratings about businesses is in production as is a Windows Phone version for the end of Q1.

Joanna Dyke September 17, 2014

Issue with S5? I can't get this to work with my S5, the chat works fine but it doesn't locate any classes or activities in the home screen. I can see that this will be a very useful app, so would love it to work. My location settings are turned on along with wifi and mobile network. Can someone help? UPDATE. Since the update this is now working! Thanks all. :-) super app.

Apologies, we had server issue which meant chat worked, but results for the listings where not showing. We have now rectified this. Please can you re-try the App and if you like it, please do re-review for us too, we really appreciate it. Once again, sorry for the technical hitch we encountered.

Mac DeKraken September 26, 2014

Very good Greatly improved since april. Looks Really nice now and i like being able to 'check in' at places and chat to locals . How about discounts and rewards in the future?

Glad you like it, we try hard to add feedback to the app as it evolves. We are planning user ratings on listings, so that other people can rate classes, groups & places for others. We are also looking at a booking system and within this the ability to see offers (eg discounts), so please keep an eye out for those updates in the coming months.

hello Keely, a new version is now live, which will allow search by postcode should your device's GPS not be picked up. Sorry for your experience, it should be fine when you upgrad. Thank you for your feedback and if it works ok for you now, please do re-rate us appropriately as a are working hard here to deliver this service for free to all mums:)

Fantastic, glad it is working ok. We also has a server issue at the same time which may have hindered it working.
Thank you so much for re-reviewing the App with it working for you, we really appreciate it very much.

James P September 12, 2014

Great app. Brilliant for looking up places to go when on holiday. We went on holiday to Cornwall and the app came in very useful. I look forward to next Summer so I can see what events for families are happening locally.

Apologies, we had server issue which meant chat worked, but results for the listings where not showing. We have now rectified this. Please can you re-try the App and if you like it, please do re-review for us too, we really appreciate it.
On the S5 you my also need to go to Settings, Location and enable satellites & GPS location access please.

Hi, apologies, we had a server outage on the Android version which may have effected the results and data rendering. We sorted this out immediately, please let us know if it is now working ok for you now, and please re-review if you are happy. Thanks so much :)
Does it work ok now ? contact me on charles@milocal.info if you have any more problems

Erica Oliver July 10, 2014

Great app for local mums This is a great app for knowing what is going on locally and what there is to do in the local area with children.

Hi Joanna, Please email tess@milocal.info for details on how to add your toddler group.
In the next two months we will have a self service information portal to add services and business but not yet.
thanks, Charles

Rachel Andrews May 14, 2014

Promising app Quite useful, although some entries are slightly inaccurate, e.g. Blue Pool is not free and Gus Gorillas is no longer at Poole Park. Would benefit from easily accessible postcodes for travelling to new places. Would be especially helpful for new parents looking for groups to attend.

Thanks very much for your feedback Rachel, much appreciated and these records have immediately been amended. It really helps when families can report these record :)
Next version will have postcodes and the full address visible as well as chat, so that families can read and leave feedback about places as well as meet and chat to other local mums.

Cassie Joyce September 16, 2014

Wont work Wouldn't find my location and when I tryed to search for places it couldn't find them either. Really not worth downloading

We did have a server issue on Android for 36 hours early in the week, apologies. The app is fully tested on the S3 and S3 mini and so if it is now working ok and you like the App, would you be kind enough to re-rate it and let us know about your experience. Thanks so much and sorry we fell below standard there!

Christina Powney October 13, 2015

Really gutted. It didn't work :( Great idea. Unfortunately I wouldn't work on my phone. It kept crashing on the refresh page.

Hi Christina, a new build has just been uploaded to GooglePlay. Please download this, it should rectify the issue people had with results.
Do let us know and if you like the new build, please consider re-rating us. thanks Tessa x

Erin Shick June 24, 2015

Wish it worked Full of glitches. Really wish it worked cause I am new to the area and want new things to do with my bub.

hi Erin, the new version uploaded today 8.6.15 is a massive upgrade and tested on lots of devices. Hope you find new things in your area. It is fully tested on Galaxy phones and many others. Sorry for the inconvenience and if you find you are happy after downloading then please do rate us again, thanks for your support :)

claire O June 25, 2015

Installed and kept saying inputting postcode incorrect, tried it at least 10 times and unstalled!! Not good :-(

New version uploaded today 8.6.15 which is a massive upgrade and tested on lots of devices.
Its should operate now on your device, sorry for the inconvenience and if you find you are happy after downloading then please do rate us as we run this for free ad are a small business, thanks for your support :)

It's Only Kay July 21, 2015

Doesn't Work The app wouldn't accept that my postcode is valid! Very irritating!

hi Kay, sorry to hear you have had an issue.
We made a change on the server to allow variants of a post code, could you try again.
The App works off GPS (satellite location) normally so if you don't enter a post code it will look locally where you are too.

Update. Our own S4 mini I9195 worked fine, however a new version released today reduces the predictive & auto complete text issues when entering a post code. You should be able to download this version from tomorrow, assuming it is fine please consider re-rating the App, we would appreciate it as we try to be responsive when providing a free App :)

Helen Earl July 5, 2015

So useful Quick and easy to use - search by day function is ideal for the parent on the go
